The book presents two, start-to-finish builds, one done on an Ironhead, and one on an Evo Sportster. From the initial disassembly to the mock up, paint and reassembly, all the steps are here, including engine work and hop-ups.

Not just another hop-up manual, the Sportster/Buell Engine Hop Up Guide includes an in-depth analysis of important topics left out of other books. Issues like oil and oil friction, chamber design, camshaft trade-offs, valvegear weight and much more.

When the supply of new Harleys ran short several years ago and riders had to wait in line for three years to buy a new Harley-Davidson, people soon learned they could build a better bike at home with parts from the aftermarket.
